you re-read end of day and your takeaway is "how did votes start piling up on Quin" not "how did votes start piling up on Bob"?

There was never an established suspect at any point prior to the end of day. Votes were going to “pile on” anybody that received votes.

I voted for cbob (relatively early) because his posts looked overly casual.

Maybe I conflated him with Jay?
No. I’m just always trying to work out the best place to put my vote.

I was on colonialbob for a long time yesterday and never moved. I didn’t care for the case against Quin. The case against Luna had and still has some good points, but also some that I disagreed with and I didn’t like the way she was being steamrolled.

In what way did I aewm chaotic?
Idk if Luna flips bad I'm still looking at you hard

Okay. I still intend to look at luna tomorrow.

It was basically a mirror of the wolbre lynch from a World Asunder.

Yeah. There's a difference between causing chaos and posting chaotically.

*seem chaotic

i'd prefer to lynch cbob over quin

Quin arguing a case that nobody sees but him? I am shocked, absolutely stunned over here.

This is an interesting collection of players. Jay and Eloh stand out as picks that I did not expect. Care to talk about them or any of these other folks?
Jay hasn't stood out to me too much. Maybe I just haven't been keeping up well enough, but when people blend into the thread it looks like they might be purposefully lying low.

Reason for Eloh is she has posted enough to "look good", and not much else.

I don't think Jay is purposefully lying low. He's been posting with a big shtick and has produced reads when he's been around. His content is lower than usual, but he's not being shy when he's around.

Can you point to anything specific in Eloh's posts that look suspicious?

What about MP?

I don't want to vote for Quin.

Mac only believes in 3% of his posts. Everything else is just flinging poop and letting other people do shit with it.

Okay but how is that different from normal Mac and why does it make him bad right now?

Jay accused him of making too many jokes and trying to look casual. He responded by a joke that looked like a strained attempt to be casual.

at least that's what did it for me.

im just buddying sloonei dont worry about it

Lock town

I can see civilian lunalee being frustrated by the lack of a decent suspect (as was certainly the case at the time) and latching onto the “emoji tell” as something seemingly viable for an extra slow Day 1 vote. I could then see a civilian lunalee becoming disheartened when an avelanche of votes falls on her at the tail end of an extra slow Day 1, and to respond with frustration and disbelief.

But civilian lunalee should be able to help us find a better alternative.

You’ve got 10 perfectly good fingers yourself. I assume. Sorry for being ableist.
This is where Sloonei sewed the seeds that spawned the tree that the apathetic rabble ate the fruits of. He would like you to think that he is not the catalyst, but this is indeed the catalyst and it is the very first response to her.

So a vie upon ye Darth Sloonei.

That’s... not an accusation. That’s a call to action.

Lunalee wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 11:10 pm @Sloonei I suppose I've done nothing "civilian," hence the lynch. I don't know how to scum hunt on day one, and when I try it and no one agrees with me, I guess this happens.

Do a civilian thing now. Don’t worry about being right or wrong. Just tell us what you think about certain people so we can talk about that. Please and thanks.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 11:10 pm I object to the Lunalee wagon on account of it being initially created by Darth Sloonei

Which reality did you pull this out of?

I don't think luna needs to be suspected for acknowledging the emoji tell. I do think luna needs to start producing clearer reads though.

All of that sounds very sketchy to me.
I still don't care for the argument that "sig always gets mislynched." I also don't see why having "just found out about a tell" should exclude a person from voting for a suspect. We're always in the process of finding things out in games. That's how mafia works.

None of this to say Iike luna's vote. I'm just not sure I agree with the reasons you've stated.
Actually that isn't why I voted for her, that's how I reacted to her vote for sig. I voted for her because she called for discussion, then just played around with other people's suspicions.
That's not what happened. I added to it as well. Go back and read.
What's your version of what happened?

This here is what happened.

I know. I was there. What have you done this game that makes you a civilian?

It's a while since i have played with you; I don't recall you doing the self imposed posting thing before. Is this something you do often now? Also Sloonei, no throwing and seeing what sticks this game? You seem different to World Asunder, and previous games, as well. But except for Asunder, I could be out of date as to your game.

Linki @DharmaHelper , you can do as you like. I just wanted to point out that you look like a vote searching for a reason, that's all. I just want that thought out there in the universe, that's all.

Lots of good discussion today, yay. Be home in about 2 hours ready to get caught up further than my mentions and the last page of posts.
Re: underlined above. I had the same thought about Sloonei and I think I know why he seems different but I'd rather he speak to this before I give an opinion.

I'm not here. This isn't happening.

Jay this may not fit into your letter writing but is there a reason you picked c-bob as opposed to say Turnip Head or blooper or nova or Quin to name a few? They've made comments but not said much.

I'm having a hard time with suspects, there are a couple of people I'm leaning civ on but then I have a whole lot of meh. I hope we have some good participation today.
My guess is he expects more from me, but the deal is I just got SSBU last night so glwt.

(Nah I mostly don't have strong thoughts. Nutella getting stuck in seems like a good look I guess. I wasn't even planning on playing this game at first so I'm still gearing up.)

Mac is playing differently then his last few games tone wise which could mean he's mafia or that he's just taking this game more serious. Either way I'd watch him.

Svs seems badish so she's probably good.
Nova has also posted early this game so omma throw a few civ points his way.
